It was an easy start today. I woke up with the alarm at 8am. My case just needs a little tweak, all the last bits to be put in. I got a single bag of cereal at the shop last night, I have enough milk left for my cereal, and one coffee, so that’ll be ok. I took Angelika’s pitta bread from last night’s dinner; I’ve got 1 pot of hummus left, so that’ll do for breakfast too. It’s a bit make do this morning, but I’m ok with that! I chose to have a black tea, so I can save my milk for my coffee to go! It’s crappy instant, so I put two in … for good measure. We checked out at 9:00, to leave at 9:15. We were all good to go on ... read more

Oceania » Australia » New South Wales » Byron Bay March 23rd 2024

Well, it was a late start today, after a late night! I haven’t been out dancing, and singing like that in public for such a long while! But it does you good to let your hair down, every now, and again! We had such a good night! I didn’t drink, but loved every minute of it! Oh…. And the Brazilians….. we were all buzzing! Loved it! So I slept like a log all night. I woke up at about 10:15. I drank water, and went back to bed! I actually only laid in another 15 minutes, then I was up, showered, dressed and out. I met Timo on the doorstep, then two minutes later we were joined by Charles and Sarah. I was just in time to say goodbye to Sarah, as she is leaving. She ... read more

Day 31 - Goodbye Noosa, Hello Byron Bay Well, it was a wild night last night! Not in the party way! The weather continued to beat on us throughout the night. The air inside the cabin tent is damp. Although I was weirdly comfortable through the night. I’m pleased that all my luggage is split into category organised plastic air tight bags. Therefore my luggage is all ok, but I have a large sarong type thing that I use as a multifunctional piece, it was dry, but because it had been hung in the cabin, it is now really damp! I woke up naturally at 6:30, well before my alarm! The winds, and rain are still doing their best to deter us! I had plenty of spare time this morning as breakfast won’t n available until ... read more

Oh dear, today’s blog is not very interesting, because the day has not been interesting…. I guess that, like me, you have to take the good with the bad! This morning I was woken up by noises at the side of my cabin tent! It was way too early because today is sleep in day! I went out to be met by three kangaroos. As I peeked around my cabin tent corner, and obviously, I interrupted their play, they all looked up at me, as if they were in trouble! Then they hopped away! This done, I was now fully awake! Although, I did get back into bed to finish the film that I fell asleep watching last night! It was rubbish, maybe that’s why I fell asleep last night! I got showered and dressed to ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Fraser Island March 20th 2024

Oh now that wasn’t the easiest rise and shine! My alarm went off at 5:30. I think I finally opened my eyes at 5:35. That’s harsh! I got into bed early to prepare for this, but by the time I’d finished uploading the blog stuff, it was 11:30 …… aarrgghh….I only had one bar of signal on my phone. Apparently, I’m doing the well to get that. We can get WiFi in the bar and reception area, but not in the accommodation! I’m here, all present and correct, I have my Costa coffee mug and muffin in my hands, so alls good. Here we go on the day ahead! I was greeted by a couple of kangaroos near my door this morning. It’s crazy, yesterday, I had never seen a kangaroo in the wild. Now, I ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Noosa March 19th 2024

This morning… I was actually taking my shower when my alarm went off!! I know, it was a shock to me as well. I think that after a month, I’m finally getting used to the early mornings! It’s now 8:30am, I’m sitting on the porch having my last cup of coffee, my Hydralites are ready to go into my water bottle, my day bag is sorted, and I have extra croissants and an apple for on the bus, my case is on the drive! It’s only about a three hour drive today. Today is bittersweet because Johanna is leaving our tour. We are being joined by a new guide for the rest of the tour. We are stopping off in a town called Maryborough which is the birthplace of P. L. Travers. Maryborough is a city, ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Bargara March 18th 2024

A great night sleep, I did have a run in with a bug! I sprayed it, then thought, I’ll collect it in the morning! I woke up to the alarm at 8:30. Well relaxed, and ready for the day. I pottered for a while, made a cup of tea, then sat on my porch. I sighted a few dragon beard lizards passing by! I went to collect my breakfast from reception. I had oats cereal, with apple, yoghurt and apple, then a cereal bar. Not what I would usually eat, but I do tend to just eat, and enjoy what I am presented with. It’s a self catering place, so our guide, Johanna, brought our breakfast in! At about 9:30 Angelika came round for a cup of tea and a chat. We spent about an hour ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Bundaberg March 17th 2024

I had a solid sleep last night. I think that knowing that the bugs have been exterminated, and that I have complete suitcase organisation, has cleared my mind affording me a restful night. It’s the little things in my life that maintain my happiness! I was awake just before my alarm set off this morning, at about 6:20! I just had to put a couple of final bits into my suitcase, get a shower, then I’m good to go. Today for breakfast I had Vegemite on toast. I love it! I do eat marmite at home, it’s very similar. I had a coffee with my breakfast, then another one after too. The whole group were up and around, making good time for the leave at 7:45. We have a long journey today. We are driving about ... read more

o first, and foremost, my room is getting sprayed today! Hopefully, they will exterminate the beetle/cockroach thing, and also get the couple of lizards that are also squatting in my space! So my sleep was ok, but intermittent! The rain was crazy overnight! i heard it beating on everything it landed on! I got up to check my washing, but it was all good as it is well sheltered in the covered in balcony. I woke up to my alarm at 7:15, got a quick shower, arranged my handbag, and I was off for the day. I had pre-arranged breakfast with Angelika to meet at 7:45. Perfect timing, we met on our way into the restaurant area. I had a simple continental breakfast today. Just changing things up from eggs! I was amazed to see the ... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Airlie Beach March 15th 2024

I was up at 7am for the early leave today. I had a rubbish nights sleep last night. I was tossing, and turning until about 3am…. And for absolutely no reason! That’s annoying! I still got up on time. Breakfast was pre-ordered, so no long wait today. I had an omelette today, which wasn’t my best decision. It had floppy bacon in it, which I don’t eat, so after pulling that out, it was quite a cold, sloppy option, but it still met my need! Obviously, that was chased down with a cappuccino. We left for the public bus at 8:45, which will take us to a the ferry terminal. Our timing has been spot on today! As we arrived at the terminal, we were straight on to the ferry. It’s another beautiful day, so the ... read more
